On multiple copies of the same programme , maybe collectors could explain to me why you would have this many copies of the same one. John must have loved Plymouth

Two nil down we won 3- 2 with an 87 minute penalty.  Plymouth then had a player, Jackson, sent off.  He had never previously even been booked.

Those games against Plymouth in the early sixties always had lots of goals. I think I saw one around that time that we won 6-3 at home and then we got thumped at their place. Someone with a long memory will correct me if I am wrong,

Thanks @GlassHalfFull. 1962/63 were the results I recall. That was the first season my Dad took me regularly to games. But as you can see there were several seasons in a row with a significant number of goals score.

Came across Barnet v Charlton testimonial programme for Colin Powell , 1973


A very young looking Paddy 

I wonder why Colin Powell was given a testimonial by Barnet at the time as he was only 24/25 years old and had been at Barnet for five years.

I used to have a copy of a magazine called “ Amateur Football “ dating from 1972 which described Colin as being probably the best player outside of the football league.
